Relays resist surge rates of 10,000 volts

NEW PROVIDENCE, N.J.  Aromat Corp. has broadened its LA Slim Power relay series with two models that it says resist surge rates of 10,000 V minimum. The NAiS-brand products target power-switching applications in such audio/visual equipment as televisions, monitors, vending machines and home appliances.

One of the relays has a nominal switching capacity of 5 A, 277 Vac and is TV-3-rated. It has been optimized for high inrush protection when power is turned on and off. The other device, with a nominal switching capacity of 3 A, 125 Vac, features contact reliability and break performance.

Both types are available in coil voltages from 4.5 to 24 Vdc. The creepage distance and clearances between contact and coil are 6 mm (0.236 inch) minimum, compliant with the IEC65 standard.
